The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board said Friday that casinos reported $55.3 million in gross revenue from table games in October. That's up 4.2 percent over the same period the year before.

In Chester, the table games numbers at Harrah's was actually down a tad. Harrah's took in $6,696,109 this October, compared to $6,902,708 from the same month last year.

Earlier this month, the state reported slots revenue was down 4.4 percent in October, partly due to the effect Sandy had on business late in the month. The storm caused massive power outages, especially in the Philadelphia area, which has four casinos.

Gaming board spokesman Richard McGarvey says table games revenue likely would have been higher without Sandy. Increases in prior months had mostly been in double digits, as tables are newer and growing faster than slots.
